It's called The Farm Fixer starts tonight at 6:30pm BBC 2 and I think is on almost every night the rest of the week. All about helping farms diversify according to the blurb on the BBC2 website.

I watched in iPlayer last night - I did enjoy it, however wasn't as interesting as I though it was going to be

I think it was because the couple didn't seem to have much personality

It was quite good actually!!

I agree, apple water would have been a no brainer
Any advice I give is purely based on my experience .... It may not be from 20 years of farming or a book I have read .... however it has worked for me.

No animals. Now I don't understand why the call it Help the Farmer. So far it has been about two small businesses that might have nothing to do with farming. Animals tomorrow please. :llama: :&> :sheep: :goat: :cow: :chook: :pig:

More of the same last night. Marquee weddings and house tours this time, though we did get to see a few cows. This should be retitled 'help the farmer start a small business that is nothing to do with farming'
